A method tests the configuration of an aggregated DERs system using distributed asset managers in a decentralized hardware-in-the-loop (“HIL”) scheme. The managers contain the model of the asset they are meant to control. The method programs an asset manager with a model of a DERs asset. A plurality of asset managers are connected to a central controller. The plurality of asset managers are also connected to a simplified hardware-in-the-loop platform. The simplified HIL platform is configured to solve a network model, a load model, a non-controllable asset model, and a grid model. The method tests the DERs system control structure by using: (a) the simplified HIL platform to solve the network model, the load model, the non-controllable asset model, and the grid model, and (b) the asset manager to solve the model of the DERs asset, without any simulation between the central controller and the distributed asset managers.

Systems include one or more critical datacenter connected to behind-the-meter flexible datacenters. The critical datacenter is powered by grid power and not necessarily collocated with the flexboxes, which are powered “behind the meter.” When a computational operation to be performed at the critical datacenter is identified and determined that it can be performed at a lower cost at a flexible datacenter, the computational operation is instead routed to the flexible datacenters for performance. The critical datacenter and flexible datacenters preferably shared a dedicated communication pathway to enable high-bandwidth, low-latency, secure data transmissions.

Provided is a method of controlling a wind turbine group having a plurality of wind turbines. Each wind turbine generates electrical power as wind turbine output power for feeding into an electrical supply network. The group feeds a group power output into the network at a grid connection point, and the group power output is substantially formed as the sum of all the turbine power outputs of the group. A maximum group power output is specified for limiting the group power output, a control value for compliance with the maximum group power output is transferred to each wind turbine in the group in order to limit the output power of the respective wind turbine to a maximum value defined by the control value, and a control relationship is determined between potential control values and potential group power outputs using the control relationships and depending on the maximum group power output.
